Abstract
The process of diagnosis of genetic syndromes in the newborn period is carried out in the context of parental anxiety and the grief following an often-unexpected outcome after a long pregnancy. The nursery staffs invariably have a strong interest in giving the family proper information about prognosis. This article is intended to focus on an approach to the diagnosis of genetic syndromes and to discuss specific syndromes that may be seen with some frequency in the nursery.
